Research is an act of discovery and I agree completely because through doing research,you not only learn and explore more about a subject but also gain personal knowledge.In most cases you would do a research on a topic that you don't know much about.In what ever method you carry on your research, be it interviewing someone,going to the library or performing studies in a lab setting, this all leads to moments of discovery.In a way,you are getting smarter and more knowledgeable by the seconds.In most cases,you dive into research with your own opinion and beliefs but you may very well come out with different views and understanding and that is essential.
